Key Points

Investigate the underlying logic of corporate lobbying behavior and explain how private business interests secure institutional access in the European Union.
Formulated a conceptual framework modeling institutional access through the economic dynamics of demand and supply of access goods.
Identified access goods as vital technical and political information required during the European Union policy-making process.
Examined three distinct organizational forms of business representation: individual corporate action, associative business action, and third-party representation.
Access to the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of Ministers requires business actors to supply the specific informational access goods demanded by each venue.
The choice of organizational form determines the capacity and credibility of private interests to provide tailored access goods to European Union decision-makers.
